When sisters experience perimenopause differently and struggle to support each other

My sister and I are both in perimenopause at the same time and instead of it bringing us closer, we're competing about who has it worse — she thinks I'm dramatic about my symptoms, I think she's in denial about hers. We used to talk about everything but now this thing we're both going through is creating distance instead of connection.
